XieHe YXH-1A1 Folding Stretcher — Professional Description

The XieHe YXH-1A1 folding stretcher is a premium solution engineered for rapid response, reliable patient transport, and versatile field deployment. As a flagship product from XieHe, the YXH-1A1 folding stretcher is designed for use by emergency medical teams, disaster response units, hospitals, ambulances, and search and rescue operators. Built around core principles of durability, portability, and ease of use, this folding stretcher redefines expectations for what a lightweight stretcher can accomplish in diverse emergency and non-emergency scenarios.

Product features and construction

The XieHe YXH-1A1 folding stretcher uses aircraft-grade aluminum alloy frames combined with reinforced composite joints to deliver outstanding strength while keeping weight to a minimum. The folding stretcher configuration allows compact storage in vehicles and rapid deployment at the scene. A high-tensile fabric bed with water-resistant, antimicrobial coating provides a comfortable and hygienic patient surface. Ergonomic, non-slip handles and integrated safety straps ensure secure patient retention during transport. Quick-lock hinges and robust locking mechanisms keep the frame rigid and reliable when loaded.

Applications and adaptability

This XieHe emergency stretcher is suitable for a wide range of applications. As a primary medical evacuation stretcher, it is suited for ambulance transport, helicopter transfer staging, triage areas, and field hospitals. The compact folding nature of the XieHe YXH-1A1 folding stretcher makes it ideal for search and rescue teams operating in confined spaces, remote trail extraction, and disaster relief logistics. Its lightweight stretcher footprint allows first responders to carry more equipment, navigate stairs, and traverse narrow passageways with less fatigue.

Operational advantages and user-centric design

Operationally, the XieHe YXH-1A1 folding stretcher emphasizes speed and safety. The quick-release harness and adjustable restraint system enable rapid securing of patients while accommodating different body sizes. The lightweight stretcher frame makes single-responder lifts more feasible for shorter distances, while still supporting two-rescuer techniques for longer hauls. Integrated attachment points allow the addition of accessories such as IV poles, oxygen cylinder brackets, and cervical immobilization systems, expanding the stretcher’s role beyond mere transport to a more complete emergency stretcher solution.

Innovation and technical advantages

XieHe’s design team developed the YXH-1A1 folding stretcher with a focus on material science and mechanical efficiency. The folding stretcher’s hinge geometry is optimized to minimize stress concentrations and prevent joint failure during repeated opening and closing cycles. High-strength fasteners and rivet-less joints in critical areas reduce potential failure points common to traditional emergency stretchers. The lightweight stretcher’s fabric uses multi-layer lamination, providing tear resistance while remaining flexible and breathable.

Field-proven reliability

Field testing of the XieHe YXH-1A1 folding stretcher has demonstrated consistent performance under harsh conditions, including exposure to salt spray, mud, and temperature extremes. The folding stretcher’s joints maintained integrity after accelerated lifecycle testing that simulated thousands of deployments. In emergency scenarios, the emergency stretcher’s rapid-deploy mechanism consistently reduced setup time compared to conventional rigid stretchers. The lightweight stretcher’s ease of carry translated to faster evacuation times in simulated mass-casualty drills

Description

This stretcher with wheels, outriggers and can be folded.

It is made of high strength aluminum alloy and the waterproof canvas materials.

Light-weighted, small-sized, easy-carried, reliable quality, use-safely and easy for sterilization, etc.

Used for carrying patients and wounded person.

The Xiehe Medical YXH-1A1 is a professional aluminum alloy folding stretcher engineered for rapid deployment in emergency medical services, hospital transfers, disaster relief, and field rescue. Manufactured byZhangjiagang Xiehe Import & Export Co.,Ltd.—a trusted Chinese medical device maker with over 20 years of experience—the YXH-1A1 blends lightweight portability with uncompromising durability. Its foldable design allows paramedics, first responders, and hospital staff to store, carry, and deploy the stretcher within seconds, a critical advantage when every moment counts.

Construction & Materials

The YXH-1A1 frame is built from high-strength aluminum alloy tubing, selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio. This aerospace-grade material delivers the rigidity needed to safely support patients up to 159 kg while keeping the stretcher itself at just 6.5 kg—light enough for a single operator to carry and maneuver with ease.

The patient contact surface is made from waterproof, tear-resistant Oxford fabric with a medical-grade PVC coating. This surface prevents liquid penetration, withstands repeated cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants, and provides a smooth, non-abrasive layer to reduce patient discomfort during transport. The fabric is securely riveted to the aluminum frame, eliminating any risk of detachment under load.

All aluminum components undergo a corrosion-resistant anodizing treatment, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh environments—coastal rescue operations, humid tropical climates, or vehicle storage where condensation is common.

Design Features

Rapid Fold-and-Store Mechanism A center-pivot folding system allows the stretcher to collapse from its full 185 cm length down to a compact 92.5 cm in a single motion. At only 9 cm thick when folded, it fits easily into ambulance compartments, helicopter rescue bays, hospital supply closets, or even standard vehicle trunks. Two units pack efficiently into one carton (98 × 54 × 18 cm), optimizing both shipping and warehouse space.

Integrated Ergonomic Handles

Four ergonomic handles—two at each end—provide multiple grip options for two-person or four-person carries. The handles are welded directly onto the aluminum frame rather than bolted, eliminating potential failure points and ensuring reliable weight transfer during transport over uneven ground.

Foldable Support Legs Two retractable support legs automatically extend when the stretcher is unfolded, raising the patient platform 20 cm off the ground. This elevation keeps the patient away from wet, cold, or contaminated surfaces while allowing rescuers to grasp the handles without bending deeply. The legs lock securely in the deployed position and fold flush against the frame for storage. Patient Safety System

The YXH-1A1 comes with an integrated safety belt and quick-release buckle, allowing medical personnel to secure patients during transport—especially critical when navigating stairs, rough terrain, or transferring between stretcher and ambulance cot.
